It’s Spring! It’s Still Cold! You Need A Blood Orange Toddy!

It's also basically mandatory that you make it in a novelty Batman mug from McDonalds circa 1995

Okay, so today is the first day of spring. That’s pretty cool, I guess. But if you live in the Northwest or maybe Minnesota or any place that only has a brief window of summer and cold misery the rest of the time, spring sometimes only means that on the rare day that’s sunny, it’s a little warmer, not colder.

But spring also means that blood oranges are in season. Because they come around when it’s almost April, they’re not in too many hot drinks. But it’s still kind of cold in Seattle, so I made this.

It’s simple and it’s awesome and while you might not have any of this lying around in your liquor cabinet, they’re all worth getting for some other amazing cocktails — the Jack Rose comes to mind for the applejack, the Lion’s Tail for the pimento dram.
